Do you ever cry?

Do you ever cry?

It is such a rare occurrence for me, but today I did when I was exercising in my garage gym. I think I know why I did, but often understanding my emotions can be a bit confusing for me.

I think many things got on top of me in this instance (both positive and negative feelings) that it came out in this way. It’s quite an intense thing really.

I just wondered what everyone’s experiences with this was as I know everyone is different.

  • I rarely cry over media, but I used to be in tears most of my childhood through my late 20s: constantly overwhelmed, frustrated and heartbroken. I learned new perspectives, and with an immense amount of reading on the human condition, philosophy, meditation - even prayer, have completely left a whole other several 'lives' I was just not functioning well in. Life on my terms (for the most part) has been revolutionising. I now rarely cry and I also do what I can with what I have to make healthier decisions. But could've easily been branded bipolar for what psychology terms "absent insight".

    I’ve never really got the crying over media thing, but I can also relate to the concept of becoming overwhelmed. In those moments, things can come out in a variety of ways really. But like you, since making many adjustments in my life, I’m finding things a lot more manageable generally.
